At the end of the seventh inning yes
terday, somebody found horseshoe
and hung it over the top of the score
board. AT that moment the score stood
to in favor of Oshkosh, the exact
figures by which the visiting team had
won both of the previous games. From
that time ST Paul batted the ball hard
and took desperate chances, finally win
ming the game amid tumultuouS ap-
plauSe in the tenth inning-the first
extra inning league contest on the st.
Paul grounds this year. A good
many hits were made by both
sides. but they would have been almost
entirely unproductive of runs had the
fielding been perfect. The Oshkosh
lads were unable to bunch hits on Dur
yea, but when they did hit the ball it
was generally for two or three bases.
WilmOt found krock veritable picnic,
but h other St. Paul batsmen did very
lit with him. Numerous errors of Il
costly character were made by both
sides. OF these the most ineXcusable
was the mutf of DOran'S easy pop up by
Crooks. Kemmler'S catching and
throwing We're superb and the outfeld
work of Murphy. Wilmot, Burns. Hoy
and Mccarthy was pretty to look at.
st. Paul went to bat first, and, though
took third on a passed ball and Burch
got a base on balls, neither was
able to score. In the same
inning after two men were
out, Mccarthy made a splendid drive to
the fence at left center for three bases.
He. however, foolishly attempted to
make home run of it and was nipped
at the plate. Wilmot making pretty
throw in from the field. In the second
inning McCauley made a hit to center,
was advanced a base on Reminders out
and scored on Duryea's drive to right.
Oshkosh tied the score in the third on
Shannon's three-base hit and Krock's
out at left. st. Paul took the lead again
in the fifth on Murphy's infield hit,
Krock's bad throw, Wilmot's three-base
drive. McCarthy'S tumble and Kellogg'S
single.
OSHKOSH SCORED ONE
in the last half of the same inning on
Kellogg's tumble of Doran's grounder
and Krock'S double. In the last half
of the sixth Oshkosh took the lead.
McCauley let McCarthy's grounderp pass
him, Hoy and O'Connell made hits and
Crooks muffed Doran's pop up, the re-
suit being two runs. Two more were
GaStfield and Burns, single by Shafer,
wild throw by Duryea and a passed
ball. In the eighth st. Paul evened up
the score. Burch made pretty hit to
left and Pickett one to center and each
took base on passed ball. Crooks
hit a grounder to Shafer at second, who
threw wild to the plate, the ball going
straight to the back stop, Burch and
Pickett scoring and Croohs going to
second. The latter took third on Kemm-
ler'S out and scored on Duryea's
hit to center. The visitors went
out in one, two, three order,
and the ninth inning was opened amid
much excitement. Murphy went out
from second to first, and Wilmot hit the
ball to the right-ield fence for three
bases. Kellogg hit a grounder to short,
who threw to first and WilmOt was
doubled up at the plate. Again in. the
ninth the visitors failed to reach first.
Burch opened the tenth with fly to
Burns, Pickett hit to short, who threw
the bali to first in time, but O'Connell
muffed it. Pickett then played too far
off his base and Krock caught on.
When the ball was thrown to first Pick
EFT made dive for second. O'COnnell
threw the ball wild and Pickett run to
third. Crooks then sent the ball spin
ming along the right foul line half way
to first base, and before it could
be fielded back to the plate Pickett had
scored. Crooks and McCauiey were
then doubled up. Shafer opened the
last half of the inning with high foul
fly, which Kemmler neatly caught. and
Mccarthy went out from pitcher to first,
Hoy then made things Interesting by
sending the ball along the left foul line
for two bases. Only hit was needed
to tie the score. O'Connell stepped up
to the plate with fire in his eye. He
soon got one to suit him and hit it hard
crack into short left field, where it
seemed safe. Wilmot, who was playing
back near the fence, made a phenom-
email run and just got under it in time
to save the game. The applause which
followed was of a decidedly yocifer-
Gus character. The score follows:
